Automated system for soil wind erosion studies

Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2019
Abstract Wind erosion is a natural soil degradation process that threatens agriculture in many locations. We have used several different methods, including wind tunnels, to analyze this type of soil erosion. In this paper we present a new wind tunnel design that enables very simple analysis of soil wind erosion.

Soil Property Effects on Wind Erosion of Organic Soils

International Symposium on Erosion and Landscape Evolution (ISELE), 18-21 September 2011, Anchorage, Alaska, 2011
Abstract Histosols (also known as organic soils, mucks, or peats) are soils that are dominated by organic matter (OM > 20%) in half or more of the upper 80 cm. Forty two states have a total of 21 million ha of Histosols in the United States. These soils, when intensively cropped, are subject to wind erosion resulting in loss of crop productivity and ...

Soil Erosion by Wind

1989
Excerpts from the report: Accelerated soil erosion by wind is the most dramatic form of soil erosion. It was the dust storms of the 1930’s that focused national attention on the problem of soil erosion. This bulletin details the scope of erosion by wind in the United States, describes the conditions that allow erosion, and shows how hundreds of ...

The Effects on Potential for Wind Erosion of Soil

1988
Just as drought severity and frequency and biomass productivity are affected by climatic change (Section 2), so is soil degradation. Wind erosion of soil is considered here as it is a major soil degradation process in Saskatchewan. About 60% of the total annual soil loss due to wind and water on the Canadian Prairies can be ascribed to wind erosion ...

Wind erosion of a soil in north Canterbury

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, 1988
Abstract Measurements were made of soil loss from an overdrilled and heavy‐rolled paddock supporting lucerne on a Glasnevin soil in north Canterbury during strong north‐westerly winds on 17 and 18 April 1981. Seventy t/ha of topsoil was transported and deposited in the lee of a windbreak on the downwind side of the source paddock ...

WIND EROSION OF CRUSTED SOIL SEDIMENTS

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 1996
Saltating particles increase the rate of dust release from sediments in arid and semi-arid areas. They also break interparticle bonds in aggregated and crusted soils, thereby increasing the number of particles available for entrainment. This pilot study examines rates of erosion in relation to the flux of saltating grains for three crusted sediments of
